Output (PWM/DO)
x This kind of pin is a current sourcing output with a pull-up selection
x In other words, the pin connects the load to a positive supply voltage
x When the pull-up is selected, it will affect two output pins (the pairs are indicated with upper
case characters in the pin table's Group column in section Pinout Map).
x This pull-up feature is for open load detection when the pin is used as an output.
x These outputs have a switching element called a smart FET. It has integrated features to
protect itself and also the external pin, wiring and actuator.
x These outputs are capable of generating pulse width modulated (PWM) output signals.
x When used as an output, the input feature indicates the output FET's state
Before the supply voltage can be connected to an output pin, the related power
switch must be switched on as well.
Input (DI)
x This pin can be used as a digital input (DI)
x A pin of this type can also be used as an input by using the output state monitoring feature.
x In this case, the output functionality of the pin must be kept in the off state.
x It must be taken care in system design that the output unintentionally switching to on state
causes no harm to the system.
x This pin can be used also with NPN-type sensors sensors with open collector/open drain.

Note 1: The frequency of a (PWM) Pulse Width Modulation is = 1 / Period

Note 2: The duty cycle is defined as the percentage of digital high to digital low signals
present during a PWM period.
Note 3: The PWM resolution is defined as the maximum number of pulses that you can pack
into a PWM period.
Note 4: tC denotes the software cycle time.
Note 5: Current limit for short circuit protection to protect cabling and to limit internal power
dissipation.
Note 6: Exceeding the max value might cause damage to input.
Note 7: The maximum output current depends on the load, PWM frequency and temperature.
Note 8: The pulse width must be greater that the software cycle time. For example with 50/50
pulse ratio, the pulse frequency is 1 / (2*pulse width)
Note 9: When the limit is exceeded, the output voltage circuit starts to limit the current by
switching the output voltage. The switching does not effect the application software
Note 10: When the frequency increases, the actual duty cycle may be bigger than the value that
has been set.

Pulse inputs can be used as a 1 or 2 channel pulse counter and they have a reset
possibility. Possible software channels and pairs are listed in section SW channels for
Pulse Inputs.
The configurable features are controlled by two control signals:
x pull-up enable selection
x input voltage range selection
When the pull-up to internal +10V is enabled, it controls two input pins as one. The pairs
are indicated with lower case characters in the pin table's Group column in section Pinout
Map.
The input voltage range selection controls two input pins as one. This local signal defines
threshold voltage levels for both inputs. This feature provides more flexibility to sensor
connections. The pairs are indicated with lower case characters in the pin table's Group
column in section Pinout Map.

AI/DI_Type011
This type of pin is an analog input and a digital input

The configurable features are controlled by two control signals:
x One control signal is for selecting:
x Voltage mode: High impedance input for signal from 0 to 10V with or without
pull-up.
x Current mode: Low impedance input for signal from 0 to 22mA.
x One control signal is for selecting (when in voltage mode):
x Pull-up mode to +10V by a resistor
x Pull-up mode to GND by a resistor
Configure the pin to current mode before applying the current signal.
When measuring current (mA), the sensor connected to 5050 units AI/DI pin must
not be powered up before the 5050 control unit is operational. Otherwise the
sensors input signal is not received correctly.

Mounting and Cleaning
Control unit mounting location should be planned so that the machine's

washing does not damage the unit.
A direct water jet towards the control units should be avoided, especially when
using high pressure. Also, the use of any such solvent that causes damage to
electronic devices should be avoided when handling the control units.
When cleaning the control unit, do not use highly alkaline / acidic substances,
too hot water, or too heavy mechanical abrasion.
In moist conditions, the module must be mounted and oriented so that the
connectors are not filled with water.
x
x
x
x
x
x
The mounting is done with 3 pieces of M6 screws to DIN 912

It is possible to use a spring washer under the screw head
Mounting must be done on to a conductive metal base. The control unit's aluminum
housing must have a galvanic connection to the machine frame
3-point mounting allows mounting on a slightly uneven surface
Reserve 10 cm installation space for the connector cables
Mounting position must be horizontal or vertical to allow water, etc. flowing away from
connectors, see the figures below.

Plugging and unplugging the cables/connectors
All Epec control units use heavy duty gold plated, locked and sealed AMPSEAL connectors.
The following figure shows an example of an AMP23 connector:
x
x
Gold plated AMPSEAL connectors pack a current of 15 amperes per contact and
tolerate operating temperature range.
All module connectors are mechanically keyed to mate only with identical colors (blue,
grey and black).
When connecting, make sure that:

x connectors are pressed down to the bottom and that they are locked
x connectors are clean (avoid moisture or dirt inside the connector)
x unused connectors are covered with empty connectors of the same
color (this helps to keep the control unit connectors dry and protected)
x all cables, connectors and tools are of correct type, and sufficiently high
quality, and suitable for this kind of use (protection for moisture,
mechanical stability, power durability, coupling resistance among other
things)
x there is a sufficient margin (slack) left in the cables to prevent the
torsion of the connectors
x wires are bound to the control unit cover base knob with cable ties
The following figure describes some general instructions about the connectors.

Cabling
8.4.1
System Topologies
Generally, cabling should be properly designed and documented to help the initial
assembly and maintenance.
It is highly recommended to mark each cable on both ends to avoid confusion and
errors.
The cables must be run in a safe route along the machine frame.
When routing cables, avoid interfering objects and pay particular attention to
moving parts of the machine.
It is also good to minimize the amount of the connection points of the cable harness
to maximize reliability.
Also, all valid safety instructions should be observed when coupling.
x
x
The control units are connected with each other using standardized CAN bus.
The idea of the Epec embedded control system, is that all the control units are installed
close to sensors, encoders and other equipment connected to them.
x This way the amount of the traffic on the CAN bus is minimized and
connections can be made using short wires.
Termination resistors
x Generally, the bus cable is terminated at both ends with termination resistors (ISO
11898:1993).
x In Epec 5050, there are two different types to connect terminal resistor:
x In CAN1, termination resistor can be connected internally as shown in
the figure Example1 below
x In all the CANs (CAN1, CAN2, CAN3 and CAN4), the termination
resistor can be external
The cable lengths presented here are approximates. Actual cable lengths also
depend on the cable quality, the cable type and also on the machine environment
(possible interference).

Example 2. Control system topology in theory with maximum bus speed (1000 kbit/s); Control
Units in traditional bus arrangement. For more information about the bus speeds, refer to CiA
DS-102 standard.
Example 3. The usage of the termination resistor (TR) in a conventional bus. The maximum
recommended bus length is directly dependent on the bus speed.
In theory, the maximum length with the maximum speed can be up to 25 meters. If the bus
speed is lower, the length can be extended.
The maximum length of the bus depends on the bus speed. For more information about the
bus speeds, see the table below / refer to CiA DS-102 standard.

CAN Bus
The CAN bus cable is the neural backbone of the whole system and should be designed and
constructed with extra care.
In all Epec 5050 control units, the bus connections can be found in grey AMP 35 pin
connector (connector1).
x 5050 control unit's CAN1 is equipped with double pins that enables cabling without
branching the wire harness
x For information about the CAN bus lengths and baud rates, refer to section System
Topologies.
Cable
x It is recommended to use high quality and twisted (approx. 1 round/ 1 inch) CAN bus cable.
x Normal UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pairs) cable is well suited for distances under
approximately 10 meters.
x In longer distances, and especially if there is possibility for electromagnetic interference, it
is highly recommended to use shielded and twisted cable for CAN bus, also for shorter
distances.
x To avoid electromagnetic interference (EMI), locate the bus cable as far away from highcurrent carrying cables as possible. Generally, the amount of the connections and
connectors should be minimized to maximize security; also all connections should be done
carefully.
x The shield grounding must be done only in one end of the cable

Ethernet
In order that the electromagnetic interference (EMI) would not effect the data transfer, the
installation of the cable should be done as close as possible to the body of the machine.
It is recommended to wire the cable under the shelter of mechanical hits if the installation
environment makes it possible.
The cable must be installed as far away as possible from other cables with high power.
The maximum length of a working connection is 100 meters.

In all Epec 5050 control units the Ethernet connections can be found in the grey AMP
35 pin connector (connector1).
This Ethernet connection is based on 10BASE-T connection where two twisted pairs
are used.
This AMP 35 connector is not a standard connecting format and to get the best
operation reliability the following issues should be considered in circuitry and
installation; type of the used cable, connecting the cable and the installation method.
Cable
If the installation environment requires a cable that takes heat and low temperature, the
minimum demand for the cable is under 20 m with connection Outdoor UTP Cat5E 4Pairs
(Water Blocking / UV Resistant).
For longer connections it is recommended to use cable Outdoor UTP Cat6 4Pairs (Water
blocking / UV Resistant), similar to it or better.

I/O Cabling
Closed circuit loops are always recommended and mandatory when you are
using DO or PWM pin as an input.
Closed circuit loop means that the power supply for the sensor must return to
the same power group, see the figures below.
When measuring current (mA), the sensor connected to 5050 units AI/DI pin
must not be powered up before the 5050 control unit is operational. Otherwise
the sensors input signal is not received correctly.

The cabling for encoders etc. is in many cases supplied together with them.
In many cases, very simple basic cable may be used, e.g. automobile R2 cable (0,5 or 1,0)
by NK Cables.
Dimensions of the cable should be appropriate for AMP contacts (so that crimping is
possible).
x Refer to AMPSEAL table (in section Accessories) for dimensions.
x Take extra care for protecting the cables against physical wear and damage.
Normally, only one wire can be connected to one AMPSEAL connector pin. However, if
more than one wire has to be connected to one connector pin, it has to be connected by
branch wiring.
Some voltage inputs use relatively low voltages.
x Consider using shielded cables for these encoders etc. especially for longer distances
to increase safety
Using shielded cable is recommended also in joystick connections.

The following figure shows three different ways to connect open circuit loop (from the control
units point of view):
x Proportional valve (on the left)
x ON/OFF valve
x ON/OFF switch (on the right)
All sensors and encoders must be wired according to the closed-loop principle, i.e. the
power for the sensors and encoders is supplied by the module they are connected to.
This way, it is possible to avoid potential harmful differences, so the MOSFET driven
output power switching operates properly.
When designing the sensor and encoder connections, observe single-point grounding. Each
control unit connector has several GND pins which should be used.
Refer to section Power supply pins and limitations for accurate pin allocation of connectors.

The nominal operating voltage for Epec modules is 12 and 24 VDC. The full operating
range is 8,3 - 36VDC.
See section Power supply pins and limitations for accurate pin allocation of the connectors
when using Epec 5050 control unit.
Single point grounding should be used for power supply for all the control units.

Power supply's wiring when using two batteries:
8.5
Welding
Welding causes some high current flows and voltage peaks in the machine. It
should be noted that the electronics of the control system may be damaged, if the
welding current can get through the control unit itself.
So, when welding, it should be taken care to prevent high currents from going
through the control units or through the CAN bus.
Follow carefully the following instructions.
Disconnect all the connectors from the control units before welding.
Generally, even if the control system power is disconnected, welding should be

done carefully and by following appropriate safety measures. Welding grounding
should be connected close to the welding point to avoid long distance high current
flow through machine frame.
